I was trying out Android Navigation Architecture Component and was also looking into Material design guidelines. I really got inspired by the design below:
Just use onCreateOptionsMenu() for the Toolbar as usual: (Kotlin)
override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_first, menu)
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
}
Then declare the Toolbar inside onCreate() and use setSupportActionBar():
val toolbar = findViewById(R.id.myToolbar)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
And after that, replaceMenu() will do the trick: (Inside onCreate())
val bottomBar = findViewById(R.id.bottomAppBar)
bottomBar.replaceMenu(R.menu.menu_main)
Note that if you wanted to use BottomSheetFragment for the NavigationView opening, you'll need setSupportActionBar in order to set menus for the BottomAppBar and I couldn't still find a way to fix this.
